Hi there-

i am 7 1/2 weels and am experiencing the same thing. Usually if I have been sitting for a while and I get up quickly, a menstral like cramp comes for about 10 seconds. I asked my doctor and she said it is normal as long as there is no blood. Actually, they have become a bit stronger the last few days...Because I am close to my 2nd missed period. Atleast that is what I have read.

Hope that helped!

Keep your doctor updated. If the pains continue, let him/her know that you are still having pains. They may just be poop cramps!! Lol...I had a bad bout of gas at about 12 weeks along and was terrified...To my amazement I had to poop!!!

Good luck and congrats on yalls pregnancy!! Have yall heard the heartbeat yet?
